[blindkid] Alphabet game for blind toddlers

[ERobin8725 at aol.com]

There are several blind accessible computer games for very young children  
developed by 7-128 Software.  They are called Pizza Games and are  
self-voiced.  The Baby Bear edition has three games, Here Comes the Duck,  Letters, 
and Numbers.  
 
Here Comes the Duck teaches cause and effect.  A child presses any key  and 
an animal appears, makes its sound, and the name of the animal is  spoken.  
At a random interval, the duck appears, quacks across the screen  and the 
child is told, All the animals have run away.
 
In the Letters game, the child is told to press any letter key.  This  will 
teach both the placement of keys on the keyboard and the letter along with  
the sound of the letter.  When a letter key is pressed, the letter is  
spoken and the name of the object that starts with that letter is spoken and the 
 sound associated with that object is played.  Then the child is told to  
press any letter key and it repeats.  If the child has selected all the  
objects in a particular letter, the child is told that.

In the Numbers game, the same thing occurs with numbers, except the  
numbers are from zero to nine and the number is counted out.
